It seems that the front fog lights on my Tech 1 320i are not connected.

I couldn't find anything in the 'Articles' seciton of this site.

Anyone know how to connect up front fogs??

tried to find it but searching at work might be taking the proverbial....

do a search for eko, he posted up some really concise instructions...

wiring is included in car as default

you just need to have correct switch and relays... honestly find his comment, its in a normal response, not a dedicated topic, and you will be able to do all check etc.

the wiring should be in place cable tied up behind the headlights then you just need the relay i think unless you already have that too

right....see the following:

fog lights - already fitted into Mtech 1 front sill but not connected
relay K8 - what does this look like?
fuses 29 and 30 (7.5A) - will get
bulb for instrument cluster - as in under the speedo and rev counter?
Double fog light switch - I have a double size single button like (same size as hazard button) can I use it? it doesn't seem to do anything atm?


sorry to be a div...i'm no mechanic, but keen to learn.

This is what you replace with 2 small button switch

bulb for instrument cluster can only imagine this is for the switch (orange back light type blub)?

Fog lights 'On' on the dash are 'On', whether you have fogs or not (if you see what I mean!)

okay...i'll see if I can get hold of one of these switches of eBay or from the breakers.

btw if anyone lives in the South West / Wales and didn't know there is an excellent BMW breakers in Cinderford called FAB. :-)

Thanks again.
